This article is about Adam West the actor and guest star. For the character, please see Adam West (character).

William West Anderson, better known as Adam West (September 19, 1928 - June 9, 2017), was an actor who was most famous for his portrayal of Bruce Wayne/Batman on the popular 1960s TV series "Batman".

On The Simpsons, he guest starred as himself in the episode "Mr. Plow". Here, Homer once cleared snow off of Adam's house entrance with his Mr. Plow truck. Later, Adam called Homer again, but Barney cleared his entrance instead and he told Adam that he won't reveal his identity. Adam then got in his Batman car, all wrecked up.[1] He later guest starred again in "Large Marge" as his character, Batman, with co-star Burt Ward as his character, Robin.[2] West also voiced a character on Family Guy of the same name, who is the Mayor of Quahog, Rhode Island. This character also appeared in The Simpsons Guy, the Simpsons/Family Guy crossover. But, since West died, it is unknown who's going to voice Mayor Adam West now.

On June 9th, 2017, West died due to leukemia, which he had a brief battle with prior to his death. Many Adam West and Batman fans heard about this, and are very sad about his death.
